HOW-TO: SSH access to Almond+

The Almond+ supports Dropbear as it's SSH client. By default it is only enabled on the LAN interface, but you can open to all interfaces, if you need remote access to it.

1. Access the Almond+ WebUI (default: http://192.168.1.1/
2. Select the Management tile:
3. Enable SSH on the correct interface

   (Note I chose unspecified so it connects to all interfaces):

1. Test Dropbear to ensure you can gain access..

   Here is code segment of my access from my Linux laptop.

pwilson@pwilsonlt:~$ pwilson@pwilsonlt:~$ pwilson@pwilsonlt:~$ pwd /home/pwilson pwilson@pwilsonlt:~$ id uid=1001(pwilson) gid=1002(pwilson) groups=1002(pwilson),27(sudo),139(wireshark) pwilson@pwilsonlt:~$ ssh root@almondplus

BusyBox v1.17.3 (2014-03-11 18:45:01 IST) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

   [/li]

You'll note that it did not prompt for the "root" password. This is because I took the time to add my Laptop's SSH Public key to the Routers

Both OS X and Linux provide an "SSH" command, which can be accessed from "Terminal", "XTerm" etc. Microsoft isn't so kind, but Windows users can download PuTTY (a freely available SSH client for multiple platforms) and use that as the SSH client.
